Description: | A copper alloy Roman headstud brooch which is 50mm long, 20mm wide and 20mm thick. The bow and wings are decorated with rectangular transverse cells of enamel. The headstud is a circular cell which appears to be integrally cast. There is a circular head loop which has broken. The foot is rounded and worn so the details are not visible. This object was recorded from a photograph and details kindly provided by the finders. The pin mechanism and catch plate are not visible. Headstud brooches are usually dated from 75 - 200 AD (Snape, 1993).
